I think everyone's TicToc experience depends on how the algorithm sorts you. I know that if I open it up right now (which I won't since I should be working and the app tends to distort time and fast-forwards 2 hours of my life) I am almost certain to get a person with a guitar, banjo, piano, accordion or whatever in a 1-2 min snippet with them saying "I just wrote this little tune this morning ...". Alternatively, I almost never get any dancing at all, maybe 1 out of 100 videos. I also get a lot of music recommendations, like a "best 20 indie albums you've never heard of" compilation.
On the subject of the songs not being a differentiator, I completely disagree. The songs themselves are memes. People use them to signify the type of video you are watching (or to attempt to subvert your expectation).

- djhn 5y agoAs long as you keep telling TikTok that they're right in this assessment of your taste by watching the videos, as opposed to skipping them, that's exactly what you'll see. To be fair though, if you shared your gender with tiktok, it'll have a very strong prior about this.
